Senior Member hairbank Posted December 2, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted December 2, 2006 Lance- The active ingredient for Rogaine is Minoxidil. I believe Regaine is a generic for with the same ingredients, if not, don't buy it. Rogaine is a brand name.......Minoxidil is what may reverse the miniaturization of the hair follicle. Bottom line.......make sure what you're buying contains Minoxidil! Hope this helps.

LanceUppercut Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Thanks a lot hairbank!! It sure helps! Is there different kinds of %-Minoxidil...I saw for instance 5% and such? Thanks Lance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hairbank Posted December 4, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2006 I don't use it and am far from an expert so check with others or a Doc. From what I understand, they do make higher concentrations which contain 5% or maybe more?? The standard which studies measured was 2% Minoxidil solution. I'd do some research to see what studies show the results with 5% or more solution to see if the added cost is worth it. I do think it works, the regimen was just to messy for me to consider long term. Best of luck!
